Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple R 2016

Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.

Powerful and unique three-cylinder engine

brute brakes

well-functioning ewlectronic features

excellent Öhlins suspension components

traditional look.

somewhat sluggish handling

high surcharge for the R version

Yamaha XSR900 GP 2024

Credible styling in the style of the 500 GP machines from around 1990 meets state-of-the-art components from the CP3 modular system. For the suspension components, Yamaha used high-quality, fully adjustable parts from KYB. The fork is the same as that used in the MT-09 SP. The sporty basic set-up is perfectly suited to this pretty retro racer. The standard electronic features are also impressive. All riding aids are lean angle-dependent, the quickshifter works first-class and there is even cruise control on board. If you can cope with the sporty riding position, you can enjoy a dream bike. Apart from the brakes, which could do with a little more bite, we have no real criticism to make.
